Meet the Talented Team at Europe’s Flagship Facility
This episode of Behind the Scenes showcases the team and talent based in Europe’s largest sail loft. Located in the maritime south-coast of England, North Sails Gosport pulls double duty; it’s a hub of local sailing activity and is one of seven worldwide manufacturing sites. And while the facility is impressive, the team is an exceptional collection of championship sailors, sail designers, and master sailmakers.
The dynamic and growing team features a Volvo Ocean Race winner, Olympic medalists, and multiple World and National One Design champions. The North Sails Gosport team is not only knowledgeable and passionate about sailing, but highly skilled sailors that have their finger on the pulse of our sport.
Opening its doors in 2015, this modern sail loft is purpose-built to specialize in superyacht sails. However, Gosport is more than just superyachts; the loft has become known for its diversified offerings, state-of-the-art technologies, and equipment.
As a flagship facility, Gosport enables North to remain at the forefront of sail technology, innovation, and manufacturing. With a unique combination of enthusiastic young professionals who care about being the best in the industry, the team is focused on customer service and creating the best products available for all sailors. The entire crew in Gosport approaches every challenge and opportunity with unrivaled professionalism and passion, and it shows.
North Sails is the official class sailmaker for 49er and 49erFX classes. After three years of collaborative sail development 3Di will make its Olympic debut at the Paris Games this summer.
